Other Course Policies

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 6 hours for a two-unit course. Students incurring more
than 6 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a failing grade regardless of class
standing.
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks

c. Written Examination
Quizzes are to be taken only on the dates announced/ specified. No special quizzes are given
except for meritorious cases.
d. Course Portfolio
Selected learning tasks and examinations are to be compiled and collected before the end of the
term. The selection is based on statistical data gathering (lowest, median, highest). Learning
tasks and examinations with marks lowest, median, and highest must be photocopied and must
be given back to the instructor for course portfolio keeping.

e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may receive
a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.

f.

Honor, Dress and Grooming Codes

All of us have been instructed on the Dress and Grooming Codes of the Institute. We have all
committed to obey and sustain these codes. It will be expected in this class that each of us will
honor the commitments that we have made.
For this course the Honor Code is that there will be no plagiarizing on written work and no cheating
on exams. Proper citation must be given to authors whose works were used in the process of
developing instructional materials and learning in this course. If a student is caught cheating on
an exam, he or she will be given zero mark for the exam. If a student is caught cheating

g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the ChE-Chm Faculty room and in
the Schools web-page (http://che-chm.mapua.edu.ph ). It is recommended that the student first
set an appointment to confirm the instructors availability.
